God Damn! You guys don't understand the awsome feeling you get when you master a video game like no other! Okay there is this little Capcom Figther (that most of you might not like) by the name of Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter for the playstation. Okay I know it's not arcade perfect with all the damn frames and crap, but this is the best playstation one Capcom versus game (notice how I say playstation ONE) because it's sooo fast. Anyways there's this code you can have where both characters can have unlimited hyper combo gauges. And it's for both characters so its fair right? But my skill for this game is sooooo excellent that no one can beat me, and trust me my friends are damn good players. I murder them by linking my hyper combo super moves one after another; Right when one move is completed. And even without the code I'm impossible to beat. Well it's hard for you guys to know what I am blabing about cuz I'm sure most of you haven't played this game. But my point is that it's (like I said up there) an awsome feeling mastering a video game. *gets stared at*.....

I hate capcom verus games. Although I like marvel vs. capcom because there is a carnage code, and it's fun to beat up people as venom and carnage quite fun.

Yeah, I agree. You can't be in the zone on crappy games.

When playing Ocarina of Time for the first time, i hit the zone and played for about 15 hours straight. I didn't get too much done because i was too in awe of the graphics and gameplay, but that was the most time i've spent in the zone. The only time i come close is playing Marvel vs Capcom 2 on the hardest difficulty.

I've been in the zone a couple of times. I was playing counter-strike this one time and was able to get a 102-4 kill to death ratio. Obviously I was accused of hacking, but oh well at least I know I wasn't. The funny part is that around 40% of the kills were knives...the people I played were kinda dumb.

Playing Super Smash Bros. on the Nintendo 64 with your brother and two cousins for 10 hours is fun. I picked Donkey Kong and pwned everyone, even though they said Donkey sucked. I love how he can pick up a guy and jump off the stage, sacrificing himself and killing the other dude in the process, so cheap when I have a 2 life to 1 life advantage.

I was playing Guiltry Gear X2 for the PS2(If you don't have this game, it's great, you should think about getting it, think old school Street Fighter with better graphics and characters you've never heard of, very much a sleeper hit), and I was killing my two buddies with Baiken. I just love her counters, so so cheap.

I've experienced "The Zone" more times than I can imagine, but those are the ones that come to mind at the moment. It was cool reading what you guys experienced and I'm glad I'm not the only hardcore gamer out there.

Haha, I did that when I got that one too. It was the coolest thing ever, I missed the bus to school so many times because I'd be playing it.

I was like that with Wild Arms 2 for a few days, but then I just stopped playing, can't remember why.


Anyone ever been in the zone with a game that you absolutely loved, but now you hate playing it?

[Naota]

<_< whatever. This is not about judging games and like I said earlier "...not many people play these games"....so I don&#39;t really see a point on the posts we are...radditz? and Ai made, being in the zone can be for any game regardless if you think it sucks. For example I really didn&#39;t know what the big deal of Ocarina of time was. I bought the game, beat it and that&#39;s all nothing special to me. *gasp*...I&#39;m a 2-D Fanboy I guess....and only like 3-D games once in a while. Oh and by the way Jimbo I loved Guilty Gear X games I&#39;ve got them all&#33; Part 3 is coming out soon and it&#39;s 4 player simultanious play&#33; B)

OK people I&#39;m ready to get flamed by all of you who adore Ocarina Of Time&#33;. I&#39;m not one to argue on Forums so I&#39;ll just ignore all the insults. Just remember people are different&#33; I mean Whatever happened to being open minded huh?.....*closes eyes and fears the worst*

[Jimbo]

Naota are you serious?&#33;? I presume it&#39;s out in Japan already??? I should just get an import, jeez so they went all Versus series on it huh. I hope it won&#39;t affect the gameplay too much, I really enjoyed Guilty Gear X and X2, both sleeper hits. Anyways, I just got in the zone again the other day.

I raider rushed 10 games in a row and won in WarCraft 3. If you know what I&#39;m talking about you probably are going "WHAT THE" and if you don&#39;t know you&#39;re probably going "WHAT THE???" Raider Rushing is funny, and everytime I kill the guy he says "Ensnare needs to be nerfed. To give you an idea of what I do, I tech to a Stronghold. I annoy with my blademaster and buy time until I get a Far Seer. Then I annoy with both heroes, while making my raiders in my base. I usually wait for lvl 2 weapon upgrade and pillage, and wait until I get at least 6 raiders. Once I have my attack squad I send them to the enemy base. I just hit the main building until it dies, then TP or run out. Usually they leave the game when their main building is gone, and if they stay I just get docs and tauren.

Okay, if you understood that yay&#33; If not thanks for reading it lol. Have a nice day&#33;

[squall_leonhart]

I had a score of 90 kills to 7 deaths on a 8v8 i was playin at a small internet cafe every 1 was playin i would hav more kill but my m8 to we had a race to 90 kills i one every that whole day i was in the zone for counter strike

[LXnekket]

Yeah, I think online games get people zoned in more than other type of game. Especially games like StarCraft, Counter-Strike, Unreal, and some of the MMORPGs.

[squall_leonhart]

i love most online games but i hav never seen a free MMORPG every 1 i hav seen u hav to pay monthly and stuff if there is a free 1 plz tell me
